Early Admission Quotas

After Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua withdrew, Chen Changhe became the only student left in the plane.

Logically, he could withdraw from the plane at any time.

But how could Chen Changhe possibly pass up such a good chance to fleece them?

The trap he had painstakingly set over this period was about to bear fruit.

There was no way he would let go now.

"Looks like this kid is going to skin this plane alive."

Zheng Dongfeng gave a bitter smile.

Yet he still did not choose to forcibly end Chen Changhe's test.

Fifteen days meant fifteen days.

He also wanted to see just how far Chen Changhe could go.

Ren Jingui and Li Guizhen did not object either, even though this concerned both of their interests.

"I'll go see Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua. Oh, and bring this to Chen Changhe."

Li Guizhen took out a glowing Stone and handed it to Zheng Dongfeng.

It contained information on how to condense Creator Divinity.

Li Guizhen was the only deity among the three of them who possessed Creator Divinity.

Of course, his self-created race was not particularly powerful.

Li Guizhen already knew that, with Chen Changhe's talent, it was impossible for him to enroll at East China War Academy.

But that was fine.

Even if Chen Changhe attended another school, he would still need to find work after graduation.

The East China Military Corps would be an excellent choice.

He was a teacher, but he was also a soldier.

He would submit Chen Changhe's information to the military corps for focused evaluation in the future.

Chen Changhe's followers were well suited for the battlefield.

He would make an excellent soldier.

Perhaps Chen Changhe would become his comrade-in-arms someday.

Giving him a little benefit now could be considered building goodwill.

Zheng Dongfeng nodded.

He also hoped Chen Changhe would join the East China Military Corps.

Of course, he would not force him.

But in his view, joining the East China Military Corps was Chen Changhe's best option.

Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua left the small building.

Liu Qinzhong ranked second with 1,869 points, while Qu Xianghua ranked third with 1,536 points.

Liu Qinzhong received one point of Divinity as a reward.

Qu Xianghua received a Sacred Relic capable of increasing crop yields in the Divine Domain.

For deities whose followers were beastmen, the bottomless appetites of the beastman race were a major problem.

The followers of many deities suffered declining faith because of hunger.

This Sacred Relic could increase the land's output by eighty percent.

It was a rather fine item.

The points they had earned could also be exchanged for a sixth-rank Loading God Card.

If they were not picky about quality, they could even exchange them for a seventh-rank God Card.

Combined with the newly added followers and Hero Units in their Divine Domains,

it could be said that they had made a fortune this time.

Yet neither of them was happy.

They were still reeling from the terrifying combat power of Chen Changhe's followers.

"Do you think... Chen Changhe's remaining followers are just as powerful?"

Qu Xianghua could not help asking.

"Not likely."

Liu Qinzhong shook his head.

His father was a Demigod.

And a powerful Demigod with 19 points of Divinity.

Yet even his father's main combat followers were only about on the same level as Chen Changhe's Snotling Orks in terms of attack power.

That kind of strength was enough to go straight onto the battlefield.

It was hard to imagine how someone their age could cultivate followers this powerful.

Chen Changhe must have piled all his resources onto those ten thousand followers.

His other followers had to be weak servant units.

That had to be it!

Qu Xianghua nodded as well.

His head was starting to ache. He had no idea how to explain his earlier refusal to help Lu Hongrong.

Lu Hongrong had been defeated by Liu Qinzhong and forced out of the plane.

Before being defeated, Lu Hongrong had asked him for help several times.

But because of his agreement with Liu Qinzhong, he had turned a blind eye every time.

"That little miss is going to blow up, isn't she?"

If he had known this would happen, he might as well have helped Lu Hongrong!

However, a teacher blocked their path.

"Student Liu Qinzhong? Student Qu Xianghua?"

"Yes, that's us."

"Vice Principal Ren Jingui would like to see you. An honored guest wishes to meet you."

Vice Principal Ren Jingui?

Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua had been enrolled for three years, yet they had never met this elusive vice principal.

They only knew that, like Zheng Dongfeng, he was a deity with Lesser Divine Power.

Why was this vice principal looking for them?

Both wore puzzled expressions as they followed the teacher toward the Academic Affairs Office.

Along the way, the teacher repeatedly warned them not to speak carelessly and offend the vice principal's honored guest.

Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua nodded again and again.

They did not know the honored guest's identity, but a friend of the vice principal had to be a true deity.

Neither of them was even a Demigod, so naturally they would not dare speak disrespectfully to a deity.

When they arrived at the Academic Affairs Office, the teacher who had led them there left.

Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua did not know whether to sit or stand.

"Come on, sit down. My name is Li Guizhen, and I'm an admissions teacher from East China War Academy.

I watched both of your assessments earlier and was deeply impressed by your performances.

That's why I shamelessly asked to meet you. Let's have a good chat today."

Li Guizhen greeted them warmly.

Ren Jingui added,

"Sit down. The plane where you took your assessment was jointly acquired by Principal Zheng Dongfeng, Li Guizhen, and me.

We called you here this time to ask whether you would be interested in early admission to East China War Academy."

East China War Academy was a special university under the military, and it had early admission quotas.

Early admission was a special recruitment method proposed by military-affiliated schools to better select and train students suited for the armed forces.

This type of admission came before the official College Entrance Examination and offered certain advantages and reference value to students preparing for it.

Not to mention that East China War Academy had risen into the ranks of first-class universities in recent years.

Just his identity as a retired soldier of the East China Military Corps made him pleased to see this happen.

Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua exchanged glances, both deeply tempted.

Their strength was now vastly different from before.

But the College Entrance Examination was filled with formidable candidates.

Even if the two of them stood out,

they might not necessarily get into a school better than East China War Academy.

There was only one drawback.

Students admitted early had to join the East China Military Corps after graduation.

But as one of the Federation's top military corps,

it had always been where the two of them aspired to go.

"If you are willing to join East China War Academy, I can arrange for you to train in planes under the East China Military Corps over the next few months.

With your talents, I believe the two of you will undergo a complete transformation."

Li Guizhen continued to sweeten the deal.

Not every student admitted early could enjoy such benefits.

But these two children qualified for them.

"Thank you, Teacher Li Guizhen!"

Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua answered in unison.

They had been completely persuaded.

Who did not know that the East China Military Corps controlled tens of millions of high-quality resource planes?

Any one of them would be enough to bring them enormous gains.

"But... may I ask something? Will Chen Changhe also be admitted early?"

Liu Qinzhong asked cautiously.

"No."

Li Guizhen sighed and shook his head.

Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua could be admitted because East China War Academy's resources

were enough to cultivate them into capable talents.

But Chen Changhe was different.

With his talent,

only a few of the Federation's oldest and most elite universities were qualified to recruit him.

They were not worthy.

Liu Qinzhong and Qu Xianghua fell silent.

They nodded.

The excitement in their hearts instantly faded by half.

So the gap between them and Chen Changhe was even greater than they had imagined!
